    New Freedom 255 DC

    No surprise to me they are selling. I have a 2002 out-of-production T223 with a Yamaha F225. Its a really versatile boat for fishing and cruising but is really suited to fishing with the great big cockpit (at the expense of the bow somewhat as it is somewhat snub nosed). Its pretty much a no...

    Tournament 223 OEM Cushion?

    Wow Yup, my Grady dealer wanted $446 for a cushion that was approximately 3'X2' . I almost fell overboard. I will be looking for a local canvas and cushion professional!

    Tournament 223 OEM Cushion?

    This cushion is rectangular with three 90 degree corners and the southeast corner having a small 45 degree slant. I have the exact mirror image cushion where the 45 degree slant is on the southwest corner. It is sitting behind my starboard ladderback chair over the fish box. I would imagine I...

    Tournament 223 OEM Cushion?

    I have a 2002 Tournament 223. A cushion was lost while underway and I need to replace it. It was the 4-button snap down cushion that snapped on top of my livewells behind my port ladderback chair. Any ideas on the best way to replace this with a quality replacement?

    I have a 2002 Tournament 223. The boat stays on the lift all year unless it's in for service or repairs. Any time I return to the pier from being out it is run right on the lift and raised. It gets very little dock time. I was down in the water doing some pier repairs with the boat...

    T223 with F225 Performance Question

    I have a 2002 T223 with a 2004 Yamaha F225. How much of a performance drain would you expect from putting up a bimini (which I did this summer). It seemed like I lost some RPM and WOT speeed with the bimini alone. When winter came and the rockfish bite was on I added full curtains. As it...

    2002 T223 - Need a glove box door

    The gasket is OK. The plexiglass door corners themselves is what is curling and bowing outward pulling the gasket along with it. I inquired with Grady and they just pushed me towards the dealer who pushed me to Grady!

    2002 T223 - Need a glove box door

    I have a 2002 Tournament 223. The upper right and left corners of the original glove compartment door have developed a nice outward bow to them and are no longer flush. Any ideas on where to replace this door with some orginal equipment. It is the dark almost black smoked plexi material...

    Tournament 223 - Where is that bilge water coming from

    I have a 2002 Tournament 223 that is manually covered and on the lift when I am not at the cottage. I am down at least every two weeks and usually once a week. The cover does OK but often I find after heavy rain it will pool a decent amount of water in the cockpit area as most of my tricks to...
